Nintendo have also announced that there will be a new accessory for the Nintendo DS consoles. The Nintendo DS pedometer has been designed for use in a fitness game. The name of the game is as yet unknown, but it is likely to be something along the lines of Lifestyle Rhythm DS.

Nintendo have confirmed that the new Nintendo DSi console is to be region locked despite the fact that the previous console in the range, the DS Lite, was not. According to Nintendo this is due to the fact that the console “embeds net communication functionality within itself”. It is also Nintendo’s intention to provide net services that are specific to each region. Parental control functionality will also be different for each region. These changes do not apply to existing Nintendo DS software which will still be region free. The Nintendo DSi’s integrated browser will not be affected and users will be able to share their photographs worldwide.

Most keen gamers will know that the Nintendo DSi will be out in the UK during Spring 2009. It is tempting to avoid any problems with Nintendo DSi availability by snapping up that online ‘Nintendo DSi cheap price’. However, several fakes have already hit the UK market so be sure that any site you use is credible. Remember too, that the console is region specific, so you need to ensure that yours can be used in the UK.
